Bathing beauties

S oap is a basic essential in every bathroom and where to keep it without making a mess can be a tricky dilemma.

Specially designed soap holders from Noveletti offer a practical and artistic solution. The company's collection, which won a New Product Award at the Kitchen/Bathroom Industry Show, features individual sculptures including Humm, nature's most delicate creature caught in mid-flight, and Lean, a striking faceted form.

Noveletti's soap holders are hand-crafted in the United States and Italy from materials as diverse as bronze, brass, stainless steel and granite.

Noveletti president and founder Nanci Greenwald says the soap holders can either make a statement or blend in with the decor.

"Our over-the-sink or tub patented design eliminates the mess that so often occurs when your soap melts on a handbasin or in a dish," she says.

A reusable, magnetic, no-rust cap that can be pressed into a bar of soap attaches it to the holder. The holder itself can be mounted onto the counter, sink or tub without drilling or screws. Instead, it is attached with the supplied adhesive that is easily applied to the bottom of the unit.

The Noveletti soap holder collection is distributed through authorized dealers nationwide. For more details, phone (800) 351 7230. Website: www.noveletti.com.
